There are a few colonies of Stick Insect around our way, this juvenile was taken in our
daughter's garden.

A Mixed Bag.
Just a few things from over the week-end. All the birds were taken at Windmill Farm, including the Whinchat which was distant but nice to see.

Another superb selection John, nice to see your efforts paying off.
ReplyDeleteThe dragonfly nymphs are beautifully ghostly!
ReplyDeleteAwesome series of photos. I've never seen a Dragonfly Nymph before. Very nice!
ReplyDeleteA great mixed bag John. That Stick insect takes me back 45 years, when I used to keep them as pets as a kid.
ReplyDeleteGreat selection John and Sue, the dragonfly nymphs are briliant,
ReplyDeleteSam
Very nice set of shots John.
ReplyDeleteGreat serie, specially love the last one...really nice ladybug(?) :)
ReplyDeleteNice set of images. The Dragonfly nymphs are really cool. Saw my first one last season.
ReplyDeleteawesome photos
ReplyDeleteFantastic selection nothing mixed about these images.Love the Sedge and Whinchat but those macro shots are outstanding especially the last one.
ReplyDeleteHi Both I concur with Anthonys comment these are real stunners, putting the rest of us to shame.
ReplyDeleteHope to see you both soon.
Great selection John. You were lucky to see the Lizard in your previous post. I never saw one in 15 years of wildlife watching.
ReplyDeleteNice collection of photos-I like the green color on that beetle-really neat color!
ReplyDeleteThank you all for your comments.
ReplyDeleteJohn And Sue.
Wondering...can you still view my blog? Two have said it is either blocked, or they can no longer access it...how frustrating...Thank you for your help!
ReplyDeleteHi Mary,still having difficulty.
ReplyDeleteWe will try again.
John.
Stunning selection of awesome images! Impressive macros, each and every one of them. A joy to view the Whinchat as I have never seen one before. Fantastic work, as always!
ReplyDeleteLovely photos!
ReplyDeleteNice surprise!
Your dragonflies are very much the same as ours, how amazing!
I regonize a Quadrimaculata eating an insect, and the red damsel looks very much like our Pyrrhosoma nymphula!
Welle done!
Cheers!
A wonderful mix. Fantastic pictures!
ReplyDeleteGreetings, Wouts fotobloG
Wow! Incredible insect series!
ReplyDeleteIt's not until you try to take images of Whinchat you realise how wary they are of human approach, so sell dome with those pictures. I got a few in Menorca so will post soon.
ReplyDeleteGreat set of images - love the Stick Insect
ReplyDeleteHi, unfortunately your Dragonfly Nymphs are actually diving beetle larvae, presumably Great Diving Beetle if they're big enough to be mistaken for dragonflies, but I'm not sure that you can get a positive ID from photographs.
